Sesame Street was one of my favorite programs growing up, I’m so happy it is still available for my kids to enjoy! When I see a Sesame Street production, I’m certain it is going to be fun, interactive, educational, and age appropriate. And I love that!

It is day 10 of Mama Latina Tips’ 12 days of giveaways and today I have two (2) Sesame Street Video Games to giveaway, one each to two lucky winners! (winners can choose: Wii, Nintendo DS or PC versions) But before I tell you how, I’m going to tell you about these great games.

Warner Bros. Interactive and Sesame Street productions have launched two new videogames and I had the opportunity to try them both in their Wii version. Both Sesame Street: Elmo’s A-to-Zoo Adventure andSesame Street: Cookie’s Counting Carnival, in my opinion, are perfect for preschoolers. They have easy instructions, up to 4 profiles can be saved, and they have parental controls, which will allow you to do two things: enable an assist mode to help your child, and set a play timer. Most activities require your child to tilt the remote back and forth to choose an option and push #2 to select it. Some of them will ask your child to jump to select the option, it is so fun to see my little one doing this! My almost 3 year old has been playing them and he has had no problem using the remote. And get this, each game comes with a little friend, either an Elmo or Cookie Monster remote cover, depending on the game. The soft, fun covers leave only the buttons needed to play in sight, how cute is that? My son and I enjoy playing together. He likes to repeat the sounds of the letters and numbers and of course he is always happy to see two of his favorite characters. Here is a short description of what you can find in each one:

In Sesame Street: Elmo’s A-to-Zoo Adventure, kids head to the Zoo with Elmo, Zoe, and their animal friends, as they explore fun games including letter identification, rhyming, letter sounds, and color and shape identification. Kids can also explore fun Zoo habitats including the Aquarium, Savanna, Jungle, Wetlands, and the Arctic.

In Sesame Street: Cookie’s Counting Carnival, kids join Cookie Monster and Big Bird at a fun-filled carnival playing games steeped in math skills that include number identification, counting, shapes, and pattern recognition. They journey through the carnival’s different areas such as The Grandstand, Midway, Petting Zoo, Food Court, and the Arcade.

The videos are already available in Wii, Nintendo DS, and PC versions. If you have a preschooler at home or need a gift for a little one, these games are a very good option.
